One of my favourite Eurogamers is Localnotail. Sweet lady. But fuck me, when I switched on my Xbox and saw that she had overtaken my score again, did I not spit out every derogatory term I know to describe brummies, women and hackers I know. For a good 7 minutes.

(well played, local)

OI! > ... I am not a Brummie!

Stupidly long day at work and supposed to be packing for my holiday but something tells me I need to have one last go... I was doing really well last night when I passed you but then somebody interrupted my flow to ask about his supper in the middle of a multiball and it all fell to pieces before my eyes.

Didn't know about the extra balls, will give that a go inabit. New series of Misfits takes priority over high score competition grinding. 40.2M eh ram? Well done. Hmmmm, that's going to take some beating :/

I think that this competition might as well be closed. Just this very moment, I got a score of 115,795,650. In case anybody thinks this was a typo, you can check the proof over here. That now makes me number 27 in the world for this table. Like, GIVE ME THE CROWN!

Seriously loving this game. It's brilliant. I'm not very good at it yet (still learning the tables) but I think it's brilliant and so much better than Pinball FX. Even the old tables feel all fresh and exciting.

Haven't bought the new tables yet (just played the demos) but I shall once I've got decent scores again on the older ones and learn the layouts and what triggers what.

And here was me coming to brag about my "untouchable" score of 56.3 million.

Bloody hell. 115 million? How much of that is luck and how much of that is uber skillz?

I've just spent the best part of 2 and half hours on the table and I swear I had about 20 games in a row where I didn't manage to hit 1 million before losing the first ball. Plenty of 8-12 million scoring games, and one where I was just shy of my 21 mill personal record. It is so GOD-DAMNED FRUSTRATING to put that much time into a table and have nothing to show for it, there could at least be a cumulative score or something!

Vice.Destroyer - did you get any achievements in your 115 Mill? I'm beginning to believe that the famously cruel Bejewelled bears achievements more easily than this.

More questions (this game just seems to throw them up from every orifice) - if you light up the "EMPIRE" letters (3 on either side of the table, just above the bumpers) what does that give you? I've had 5 lit on numerous occasions but never managed the six.

I know I must go to bed. I know I have work. I know I hate this game for taking 150minutes of my life and not giving me one pointless stat to at least recognise my sacrifice. But I'm still thinking of just one more go...

I'd beat all of you if I could be arsed. I can't though.

My gran could beat you, but she's dead.

I think I might have to officially give up or I'll never get packed in time. Oh well, there will be other tables, other comps. Somebody beat Vice though please or he will continue to be insufferable ,)

Almost glad I can give up on Rome now, tried to get a decent score last night but ended up literally throwing the controller. I never do that I just don't get along with that table, I'll beat all of you on Secrets of the Deep though. /throws down gauntlet.
